Caught Up!

I think I am caught up!Now, I know I am bound to get behind again.I have a TO DO list that looks like Santa's Gift List.

I am hosting a few friends for lunch next weekend, but am going to be in Austin Monday - Wednesday so this weekend is going to be packed with things to do to get the house and other things in order. Here is a sneak peak at my list.

Bring up Christmas stuff and decorate (put up tree, swap out dishes, etc.)

Finalize menu for holiday lunch

Sunday morning brunch with Sara and Aurora and friends

Laundry

Change sheets

Make a pot of beans

Studio time to finish some projects (make book for office gift exchange)

That is just a few of the items. I am going to try and get some of the Christmas stuff out of the basement tonight if my partner in crime will come down with me and hold the flashlight (its creepy down there and there is the ghost of a cat down there too! Oooooo.....ha ha!).
